CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0119380, filed on Sep. 5, 2014, inthe Korean Intellectual Property Office, and entitled: “Condensed CyclicCompound and Organic Light-Emitting Device Including the Same,” isincorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

Embodiments relate to a condensed cyclic compound and an organiclight-emitting device including the same.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light emitting devices are self-emission devices that may havewide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response times, andexcellent brightness, driving voltage, and response speedcharacteristics, and produce full-color images.

The organic light-emitting device may include a first electrode disposedon a substrate, and a hole transport region, an emission layer, anelectron transport region, and a second electrode, which aresequentially disposed on the first electrode. Holes provided from thefirst electrode may move toward the emission layer through the holetransport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode maymove toward the emission layer through the electron transport region.Carriers, such as holes and electrons, may be recombined in the emissionlayer to produce excitons. These excitons may change from an excitedstate to a ground state, thereby generating light.

The hole transport region may have a single-layered structure formed ofa single material, a single-layered structure formed of a plurality ofdifferent materials, or a multi-layered structure having a plurality oflayers formed of a plurality of different materials.

A thickness of the hole transport region may be in a range of about 100Å to about 10,000 Å, e.g., about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å. When the holetransport region includes a hole injection layer and a hole transportlayer, the thickness of the hole injection layer may be in a range ofabout 100 Å to about 10,000 Å, e.g., about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å, andthe thickness of the hole transport layer may be in a range of about 50Å to about 2,000 Å, e.g., about 100 Å to about 1,500 Å.

The hole transport region may further include, in addition to the holeinjection layer and the hole transport layer, at least one of a bufferlayer and an electron blocking layer. Since the buffer layer maycompensate for an optical resonance distance according to a wavelengthof light emitted from the emission layer, light-emission efficiency of aformed organic light-emitting device may be improved. For use as amaterial included in the buffer layer, materials that are included inthe hole transport region may be used. The electron blocking layerprevents injection of electrons from the electron transport region.

An emission layer may be formed on the first electrode 110 or the holetransport region by using various methods, e.g., vacuum deposition, spincoating, casting, a LB method, ink jet printing, laser-printing, orlaser-induced thermal imaging. When the emission layer is formed byvacuum deposition or spin coating, deposition and coating conditions forthe emission layer may be determined by referring to the deposition andcoating conditions for the hole injection layer.

When the organic light-emitting device 10 is a full color organiclight-emitting device, the emission layer may be patterned into a redemission layer, a green emission layer, or a blue emission layer,according to a sub pixel. In an implementation, the emission layer mayhave a stacked structure of a red emission layer, a green emissionlayer, and a blue emission layer, or may include a red-light emissionmaterial, a green-light emission material, and a blue-light emissionmaterial, which are mixed with each other in a single layer, to emitwhite light.
